Vanilla Cherry Nyquil - Limited edition flavor!
I have a cold.
I need to sleep.
But I feel lousy (detailed accounting of all the ways I feel lousy upon request, even though I was saving it for an ebook)
My other bottle is empty.
We could discuss when they started marketing drugs like candy or just how much that bisque/bone color they used for the safety wrapper reminds one of very old women in the Miss Havisham mold, or if the green Nyquil works better than the cherry red one or why they market Nyquil in capsules when they are useless disappointments but what I really want to know is:
Do I really want to open this? I mean because it could be worth money some day. Everyone told me that the big money is in pharmaceuticals and I’d hate to be browsing through some drug con some day and see a new, safety sealed bottle of this going for $125 and kicking myself for never delaying gratification.
Your thoughts, please.
PS if anyone is in Canada and can get me one that says “new flavour” on the seal, I will reimburse you for cost, shipping and your time. Unless it’s ketchup flavoured, you can keep that.

Is this along the same lines as Baskin Robbins’s Love Potion Number 9, for which two of my friends are already stalking our neighborhood store in anticipation of Valentine’s Day? Maybe you’re supposed to try to collect the whole set, like gas station glasses or happy meal toys.

That would be awesome, I could redecorate my office to look like an old timey pharmacy and have all sorts of limited edition medicine on display!

I think you need to rip open the seal, guzzle the contents, lie down, and think no more about this silliness.
You’re quite feverish, aren’t you?
I was! I did wind up opening it and it didn’t taste a bit like cherry vanilla. Pah.
Sorry, no investment advice, just drug advice. Is this Nyquil or Nyquil-D? I get much better relief with Nyquil-D because it has the decongestant pseudoephedrine in it (which is the same as the Nyquil we grew up on). They took this key ingredient out of Nyquil a few years back (I think it was because of meth makers). The only catch (at least where I live) is that you can only get it by asking the pharmacist, showing ID, and a limit of 2.
No, it was regular Nyquil. I will have to check out the Nyquil-D for my husband. The regular Nyquil knocks me right out, so I don’t even know if it helps with the cold symptoms or not!
SO i googled “cherry vanilla nyquil” and you have probably the ONE and only hit (congrats!) which i found somewhat odd b/c the flavor’s not even listed on the Vicks website.
Anyway, I guess I got what I was looking for from your post which was a review of what it actually tastes like. Believe it or don’t, “cherry vanilla” sounds pretty tasty to me: too bad, as you say, it tastes nothing like that
Meanwhile, I might invest in it anyway: I’m going to be a candidate for some cold relief…
Get well soon!
Yes, I’m afraid it tasted pretty much the same as plain red Nyquil. On the other hand, generally when you take Nyquil your nose is stuffy so maybe there is a vanilla taste but you have to not have a cold to taste it.
Isn’t that weird how you think that in this day and age anything you could google would have hundreds of relevant hits and images and then you go to search for something and find barely anything?
